What if God is intentionally hiding?

[SarahM32]

19. What if the nature of God defies description and is unfathomable? (And, about the "hidden" aspect)

There is a reason why Moses wrote that God "is not a man, nor a son of man," and why God is referred to so often in the Hebrew Torah and Tankh as "the Light."

Human beings who have actually "witnessed" or seen or experienced what God really is are at a loss to describe it, because it is indescribable and unfathomable. But the authors of the religious texts in the Judeo-Christian traditions often referred to God as "He" or "Father" for lack of a better way to describe God.

Solomon is one who spoke of Wisdom as the "spotless mirror of God" and he assigned female gender to "Her" (Wisdom). And that is consistent with Kabbalistic Jewish terminology in which Wisdom is the female aspect and Understanding the male.

The author of The Nature of God offers this definition of God, that it is the Divine Light Energy-Source of our existence, the eternal, infinite, omnipresent Essence of all life and form, the Great Spirit-Parent of all, and the unspeakable, primordial "Word" that is made flesh in us all. He says God is within, above and around us all the time, but only when our "eye is single" may we see or realize the reality of God -- only when we transcend the separate-self ego and see beyond the illusion of duality.

And the author is "hidden," just as God is.

"(God) has made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand has he hid me, and made me a polished shaft; in his quiver has he hid me; And said unto me, You are my servant, O Israel, in whom I will be glorified. Then I said, I have labored in vain, I have spent my strength for nought, and in vain: yet surely my judgment is with the Lord, and my work with my God. And now, says the Lord that formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, Though Israel be not gathered, yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the Lord, and my God shall be my strength." (Isaiah 49:2-5)

"He [the son of man] that takes refuge in Me shall inherit My holy mountain. And He will say: ‘Draw up, clear the way, take up the stumbling block out of the way of My people.’ For thus says the high and Holy One that inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: I dwell in the high and holy place, with him that is of a contrite and humbled spirit; to revive the spirit of the humble [and meek], and to revive the heart of the contrite ones. For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always angry. For the iniquity of his covetousness was I angry, and struck him. I hid me, and was angry, and he went on willfully in the ways of his heart. (But) I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore comforts unto him and to his mourners. Peace to him that is far off and to him that is near, says the Lord that creates the fruit of the lips; and I will heal him." (Isaiah 57:13-19)
